i've been continuing to read your blog. thank you so much for sharing it -- i really appreciate your perspective and story. you have been getting some heated comments lately, which i think is a sign that your blog/writings are a success! they are getting people to think and to respond (which is uncomfortable sometimes, but is a good thing). well done.

@Reuven Great interview, seriously. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

@Elisabeth Thank you for our comments, they mean a lot. Sometimes it's hard to keep posting in the face of constant questions. I'm too far left for the right, too far right for the left, and it's like a constant tug-of-war because so few people seem to just accept who I am. So thank you. And Shabbat Shalom!

I saw him! He spoke at my NCSY convention. It was pretty cool. I feel horrible, though...I was so tired Friday night when he gave his speech that I actually fell asleep during it. *I'm sorry, Alan Veingrad*

About the Jewess

I began this blog in April/May 2006 shortly after converting to Judaism under Reform auspices in Lincoln, Neb., as a way to discuss my journey. After all, the Jewish journey doesn't end with conversion, it's where it starts! This blog winds its way through a variety of cities -- Lincoln, Washington D.C., Chicago, Storrs (CT), Teaneck (NJ), and Denver -- as well as a variety of jobs. I trekked through Reform Judaism to Conservative to Orthodoxy while living in Chicago and converted Orthodox on January 1, 2010. I've been married and divorced since my Orthodox conversion and would proudly say I'm denominationally "Underconstructionist."

The purpose of this blog is to share my story, my struggles, my ups and my downs, and to connect with others about anything and everything Jewish and social media. Write me, talk to me, comment, and be well!
